+ HOW CAN ATMAT HELP WITH FERTILITY?

ATMAT for fertility is a program individualized for you which may include abdominal massage, diet and lifestyle modifications, herbal tonics, faja (support belt), vaginal herbal steams, and relaxation techniques, including meditation. Abdominal massage helps to free and diminish old adhesions from invasive treatments or traumas to the pelvic and abdominal area, including fibroid tumors, endometriosis, cesarean delivery, abdominal surgery, infection, or trauma. It corrects uterine malposition and promotes ligament healing, improves the blood flow to the pelvic organs, and can improve the uterine lining.
